Not Toady, it's frustrating...

There is a car dealership in the area called Todey Chevrolet. Their motto is, "not Toady, it's Todey (toddy)". This has frustrated me for a long time, as i can not think of any language where a word spelled/t "Todey" would be pronounced as "Toddy". Can anyone offer up some light on the situation? Am i correct in my frustration and evil thoughts that someone doesn't know how to pronounce their own name?
